GO! English Paper Piecing Hexagon - 1" Finished Sides

GO! English Paper Piecing Hexagon - 1" Finished Sides

Just when I thought I would never want to do any type of paper piecing, AccuQuilt comes out with the new Paper Piecing Hexagon dies...  Boy am I hooked!
  
The die is designed to cut 2 layers of card stock and 6 layers of fabric AT THE SAME TIME.  You can reuse the card stock templates so you do not need even amounts.  

Since I didn't know if I would like it, I decided to just make a small wall hanging or table runner.


These are pictures of the ones that I am making now.  I plan to add one more row of a different color after I finish the green row, then I will "fill in" the hexies to square it off a little more.

Here is a picture from AccuQuilt of a sample whole quilt.

This has been a great little "resting" project for me.  It is something I can work on while sitting in the living room with the family.  Give it a try, you can purchase by going to www.shop.stitchesnstories.com.  You can find this as well as all the new dies that just came out... Let's GO! Bust Our Stash!

Happy Customer

It feels so good for a customer to pick her finished quilt up and know they love it! This was a hand pieced Grandma's Flower Garden. Quilting was a simple meandering all over.
Binding was a little challenging but once again, I learned something new about mitering the corners. They were not 90 degrees and were both inside and outside corners.
